I still think the LA Gov has to ask the President to declare the Insurrection Act...anybody know for sure?
Prayer for that poor woman and the baby. They will need God's blessings now. It is far from a sanitary birth.
I am hoping that we learn from this experience, and that FEMA and Homeland Security, along with state officials, take lots of notes and adjust their disaster plans accordingly.
Fortunately, there are still waterbomber aircraft in the area, when last I looked.
Winds kicking up, swirling winds . . . fire spreading from building to building . . . live video on Fox . . .
Thank you for posting some GREAT news. I hope this continues.
Oh no! Fire not good.
FANTASTIC news!!
I've got an idea!
Send in Zell Miller to replace Blanco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big fire - buildings - off I-10 in New Orleans.
Scott's always in over his head. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but it's painful to watch him. Probably nerves, but he always looks shifty-eyed and evasive. He's just not the right guy for the job.

Boil some string, push, and don't forget to breathe. Tie off the cord twice a couple inches apart, before cutting it. It's been done without medical assistance for right at one million years.
Well, aren't you just so cute. How does one boil water when one has no water, much less fuel?"
I'm not being cute. Reports in this thread have groupd of 100 people stranded with med emergencies calling for and not receiving help for days. Cops pinned down in their station, about to be overrun, calling for help and not getting it.
One lady having a baby, has to get inventive, because it is all she has. The million year comment sounded cute I know it, but it's the quickest thing I could think of to tell her to take the edge off what must be significant fear. if the OP on that has two way comminications with the lady in labor, I stand by my post. This is beyond a triage situation.
The water doesn't have to be potable, but germ free helps. There's gas in every car on the road and a hubcap or tin can will serve as a pot. If that's beyond her means, tie it off with dirty string. Better than the alternative.
Fire is where in relation to SD, Canal St., French Quarter?
My prayers are with you all.
iTunes works, so does WinAmp
Not at all. The wind is howling too. It has spread from one building to 3-4 in 5 minutes.
Please be careful out there, and check in as often as you can.
Anyone else hear that Carnival has offered up some boats for housing? I heard that somewhere yesterday. Are they being taken up on that offer?
